Humanities Homework Help

This assignment requires you to gather a compilation of papers and
projects from this course and previous courses and add them to your
Professional Portfolio. The portfolio is designed to help you compile
all you have learned throughout your undergraduate studies with the best
examples of your work to represent what you are capable of doing when
you graduate the program. This assignment also gives you a opportunity
to reflect on what you have learned as a student of psychology, and to
prepare to actualize your post-graduation goals. It will serve as a
resource as you navigate the world of prospective employers and graduate
admissions committees. The student portfolio is also a measure of
effectiveness for the Argosy University baccalaureate program in
Psychology. As you develop professionally following graduation, you can
add work samples and other pertinent materials, as well as modify
existing documents, to reflect that development.

The Professional Portfolio includes two main sections. A Professional Profile section that is completed by all students with either an Employment focus or a Graduate School focus, depending on your post-baccalaureate plans. The second section holds your Professional Work Samples demonstrating your abilities, skills, and competencies across a range of tasks and objectives. This section also includes a Final Evaluation of your work samples, yourself, and the psychology program.

The Professional Profile section
summarizes your career planning and professional goals. You have already
compiled the documents for this section in Modules 1 and 2 of this
course. It contains the following documents:

1. A Cover Letter as a way to
   introduce yourself to a potential employer This includes details about
   yourself and why you feel you are qualified for the position. (Employment).

OR

A Personal Statement describing
your immediate and long-term career goals, including an explanation of
why these goals are appropriate in terms of your knowledge, skills,
personal characteristics, values, and experiences (Graduate School).
Note: The personal statement is attached to the Curriculum Vitae (Graduate School), and the Cover Letter is attached to the Resume (Employment), so take the time to be creative and not repeat yourself.

1. A Resume with list of References that is current, accurate, and professional in appearance. (Employment).

OR
A Curriculum Vitae with list of References that is current, accurate and professional in appearance. (Graduate School)

1. OPTIONAL: A copy of your Transcript(s)

The Professional Work Samples section demonstrates your performance and mastery of Argosy University’s program outcomes/competencies for the Psychology major. Select 3-5 documents to serve as samples of your best work in the program. Together, they should illustrate your mastery of all
the 7 program outcomes listed below. Examples of the type of work that
would illustrate each outcome is provided below, as well. The 3-5
documents should be samples of your work that you completed in previous
courses as an undergraduate student.

These outcomes are listed below, along with the assignments that could be included to demonstrate mastery of the outcome:

• Cognitive abilities (critical
  thinking and information literacy): Assignments or projects that
  demonstrate problem solving, analysis, synthesis, appropriate use of
  information resources, etc.
• Research skills: A copy of a research proposal, a survey developed, etc.
• Communication skills (written and
  oral): A topic paper, presentation outline, or PowerPoint that
  demonstrates your written and oral communication skills.
• Ethics & Diversity awareness: Papers that demonstrate your understanding and/or analysis of ethical and diversity issues in psychology.
• Knowledge of foundations of the field: Assignments,
  papers, or projects that demonstrate your understanding of basic
  concepts, theories, and empirical findings in one or more of the domains
  of psychology, including biological, cognitive, developmental,
  personality, and social.
• Knowledge of applied psychology: Assignments,
  papers, or projects from courses and/or an internship that demonstrates
  your ability to apply psychology to personal, social, and/or
  organizational problems.
• Interpersonal Effectiveness:
  PowerPoint presentations, videos of your presentations that demonstrate
  your ability to communicate effectively, appreciate diversity and
  cultural sensitivity and awareness of your impact on others.

Once you have assembled your work samples, you will write a 700-1000 word narrative to serve as a preface to the Professional Work Samples section.
This narrative should consist of a clear and thoughtful analysis of how
each work sample reveals your strengths and areas for improvement,
according to each of the seven areas addressed in the program
outcomes/competencies (listed above). Towards this purpose, you will
complete the Student Self Appraisal of Learningfirst,
and then use that to generate the preface . Make sure you also address
how you intend to strengthen your competencies in all areas as you
graduate onto the next step of your professional career. On which areas
will you focus most and why?

This preface should also include an evaluation of the
Psychology program as well as suggestions for the program that will
enable it to help future Psychology majors develop these strengths and
overcome these weaknesses in the future.

Enter each of these components (Professional Profile, Professional Work Samples, with self- evaluation) into the Professional Profile Template. Post your Professional
